In August 2013, it was announced that cinematographer Daniel Mindel will be shooting the film on 35 mm film (specifically Kodak 5219),[37] and that the film would rely on the employment of real locations and scale models over computer-generated imagery, in order to make the film aesthetically similar to the original Star Wars trilogy.

I swear I nearly said the last 30 minutes on Geonosis were the best in my previous response, I almost did.

BTW, in later years I've thought up/wished for a scenario where Mace Windu leads a few other jedi and troops into underground Geonosian catacombs after some of the seperatists, say Gunray and miscellaneous others. We'd get that plot intercut with Anakin, Yoda and Obi Wan pursuing Dooku which would play out as that did. The Windu plot would be something of a mini horror film though, with a mysterious force picking off some of the clones, a jedi or two, before finally being revealed to be General Grievous escaping with the separatists as Windu can only look on. I know Grievous wasn't even thought up until later, but that woulda been awesome!...well in my head at least

I'd like to personally give anyone who comes up to me and legitimately considers the Prequel trilogy not to be garbage/shit/etc. some friendly pats on the back.

Revenge of the Sith was a good film but wasn't exactly up there with the timeless classic original trilogy, it had parts with horrible dialogue and badly written scenes. The majority of it was good though unlike the first 2 prequels, I felt that if George Lucas wasn't in full control the film would have been just as good as the classics. Alas that was not the case.

It's the storyline, characters and the theme that does it for me. I've been watching the original trilogy since I was 3 years old and it still hasn't gotten old for me, we lost the unaltered VHS ones when I was 7 and I was stuck with the altered DVD ones for years. Only recently have I got them back and watched them. Even the minor tweaks that were done still ruined the whole theme in general (e.g. the 'teasing' robot scene which I found disgustingly childish).

You missed my point. I never said anything about abandoning the sequels, I meant that people spend so much time talking & complaining about how bad the prequels are (and sometimes even suggesting that they should be remade) and I think that they should move on to talk about the sequels instead and stop yapping about the prequels. It's time to focus our attentions to the upcoming movies instead of dwelling in the past.

And by the way, my main point was that no remakes, period; too many movies are being remade these days and more are coming up. I personally think that we don't need remakes of the Star Wars movies, but if Lucas wants any of them to be remade, albeit highly unlikely, then fine; if it's his wish to remake them, then so be it (if Disney wants them remade, then they'll have to ask him for permission first).

Well I've already talked enough about the sequels and I really have nothing else to say other than the thing I just said about the prequels.

Yes, but most movies that Are being remade today were already good enough to not be remade. The prequels weren't good strong enough at all, they need to be remade with better structured story-telling, better characterisation and better dialogue.

I think the entire scripts need to be rewritten in addition to less CGI and action sequences, which would only be possible in an alternate universe.

We kind of got something like that in the 'Legacy Of Terror' episode of The Clone Wars (the one where Obi-Wan and and Anakin leads a squad of clones in search of a Jedi master who was captured when going after the Geonosian separatist leader in the underground catacombs in some horror-esque scenes).

But yeah, I completely understand what you are talking about. It would have been pretty sweet with a scenario like that

Oh, I see. I was just sort of confounded by the pic and the fact that you said nothing more (I'm just used to that a reason why the thread is bumped, like a question or an attempt at a new discussion, usually follows the 'bump' statement itself).

It must be said that whilst most of the prequels suck, the Maul vs. Qui Gon & Obi-Wan fight is one of the best in all 6 films

Say what you will about the prequels, but I thought the duels in the prequels were so much more awesome than the ones in the original trilogy. The lightsaber fights in the Original trilogy were good, and they did have a tense atmosphere that I would like to see matched in the sequels. But the prequels just ramped up the epicness of these battles, and it's exactly how I imagined a lightsaber duel would feel like.
